Rebeca 2022-09-17 19:08:27

A romantic drama with a small and fresh color in the background of World War II. First, the heroine who plays the role of a spy sacrifices her color to seduce the handsome enemy hero. With the development of the plot, it was found that the male protagonist turned out to be an "exception", and then fell in love with the male protagonist.

An enlightened old emperor is interspersed in the middle. When the hidden feelings of the male and female protagonists are revealed, as well as in the later escape, they are given possible protection, so that the love will finally come to fruition.

The heroine in the play is not only good-looking, but also has a great figure. The old emperor is even more handsome. The whole story is simple and complete. Although it is hard to escape the old pattern of handsome male protagonists and seductive female protagonists, the whole film is relatively comfortable, and there are not too many heart-stopping plots.
